@@darth856 just a little detour on the way to paradise. A couple thousand years is nothing in eternity terms, he can do that while standing on his head. It’s only like a couple a days here.
I loved that he only agreed to take the role under the condition that Paulie would never be outed as a rat. Paulie was no rat, but he was a despicable person. Tony Sirico, on the other hand, was a gift. A true talent. The only one who could have played this character.
Commendatori, Tony Sirico (1942 - 2022) You will never be forgotten and we will never forget all the iconic and funny scenes you did in The Sopranos. May you and James Gandolfini rest in piece. 🤘
I went to a Gwar concert in November 2014, shortly after Dave Brockie died. We were literally crying, punching each other and hugging in the mosh pit. They closed with “People who Died” by Jim Caroll. I hope when I get dementia that’s the memory that I get to keep.
@@petercmhanna last thing I wanted to do was dance, but me and my friends belting out journey lyrics was a form of therapy I think. Couple tears came down too.
It’s hard realizing Tony Sirico is now gone. Played one of the many complex characters in The Sopranos. Petty and cheap, yet loyal and caring. Rest In Peace big guy!
He played probably the most one-dimensional character on the show. In his conversation with Christopher about _"the arch"_ he even breaks it down: _"I was born, grew up, spent a few years in the Army, a few more in the can. And here I am. A half a wise guy. So what?... I'm survivin'..."_ Paulie and complex? Come on!
That’s probably my favorite line in the entire series. It’s somehow uproariously funny, and hauntingly dark, seemingly shallow and yet surprisingly deep all at the same time.
@@billyheaning as a waiter of 5 years I agree 😂 but I tell ya what, if I was left with 16 bucks on a 1200 dollar tab I’d do what this guy did in a heartbeat lmao
@@NorthAmericanEditing Honestly, knowing Chrissy, and his mindstate at the time, I was surprised he even got that 16 bucks... although it was probably just cuz he didn't wanna wait for the change lol

Kino, this is superb. We raise a glass. Tony's passing is very sad. We must keep his memory alive. Throwing his ma's tv out of the window when she was watching gilmore girls is always funny.
The funny part of that scene was the wheelchair old lady rolling right past so out of it that she didn't even notice as it crashes to the ground right beside her. I always loved those comedy bits that the writers gave us.
It's extremely hard to know that a lot of the cast is either dead, or really old. I'm just glad that Jerry Adler and Dominic Chianese are still with us into their 90's.
Rest in peace... Lord knows that 6,000 plus years you have to wait before you get out of purgatory will be easy. You can do that standing on your head 💙
It absolutely broke my heart 💔 when I heard of his passing. His portrayal of Paulie was one of the best on the show. He was hysterical! He will be sorely missed! Go in peace my friend.
Thanks so much for compiling this Paulie montage. When some of the cast came together for a 20th anniversary show perhaps 3 years ago, Tony was showing definite signs of dementia or something similar, and thus it seemed understandable he wouldn’t have been well enough to guest on Talking Sopranos.
Tony Sirico stipulating that Paulie could never be a rat is one of the coolest things ever honestly. Tony was a former gangster, so the whole rat thing must have struck home to him
A Great tribute, Sir. Paulie was one of my favorites on the Sopranos - The scenes grew more interesting the moment he entered or acted his lines. When Tony and Paulie took it on the lam to FLA, I was mesmerized. From a Gangster to such a great Actor. One tries to remove himself from his own reality, then imagine appearing in works like Goodfellas or the Sopranos - it's hard to imagine. He was a talented man, who, in my opinion, could have pursued and succeeded at whatever he chose. Check his interview on youtube from 1989 - very powerful. A beloved man indeed. I am sad he has left us and I will keep looking for Mr. T Sirico in movies and t.v.
I’m so bummed about his passing, I just rewatched Pine Barrens and had a great time seeing Paulie be his legendary self! R.I.P. Tony Sirico! Loved this video Kino!
Great Tribute. When I heard he passed I felt like a member of my family passed. Same when James Gandolphini passed. So many of these iconic actors have passed. It breaks my heart. RIP Tony Sirico
Favorite Paulie quote? Mine has gotta be when he was talking to Chris in the hospital and Chris said be went to hell, in response Paulie says "Hells hot, that's never been disputed" I love everything about that line and how he delivers it lol
Thank you, I ve been waiting for your video on this. I knew it was coming, but first your would have to process this and prepare the content. We are all a family, with you, Borko, and the soprano fans. Your content helped me through really hard times, gave and still gives me a smile every day. Rest in peace, Tony. I love you brother, love you all. See you around.
Rest in peace Tony. he brought so many people so much joy, and he will be sorely missed. No matter what role he's best remembered for, he was one of the good guys.
My father was the cheapest person I knew, but he paid whatever it was for years, to get HBO so he could watch the Sopranos. His favorite character, Pauline Walnuts. I remember how I got him a shirt with a picture of Pauline on it and it made a lot of people at the hospital laugh when he would wear it. When he got real sick, no matter how bad he was, I could make him laugh by saying “whoa! Do that by your window, I’m not smelling your piss”. Next month, it’ll be six years since he’s been gone. As sad as it is to lose Tony Sirico, it’s twice as bad for me. Rest In Peace.
I haven't watched the sopranos since it first came out, decided to re-watch it again since it came out. On the day I finish the last episode paulie dies 😢
A great tribute to one of the most iconic characters and the best show ever on television. Pine Barrens was my favorite episode. Pauie was funny and all of his weaknesses came out. Yeah, Tony "Paulie " Sirico was one of actors who made that show what it was, the best ever. RIP my friend. May you have plenty of ketchup packs in heaven.
it does hit hard ,he was my favorite ,ever since I seen him in gotti ,then the sopranos I became a big big fan of his ,god bless ya Tony 🙏 hope ur at peace
Thank you for honoring the character , Paulie is far and away my favorite for a few reasons and this really was well done and serves Tony's memory very well. RIP Mr. Sirico, we're all happy you survived the 80's by the skin of your nuts when the Columbos were goin at it. Hopefully there aint line of Cozzarellis a mile long to get into heaven 🙏
Gone , but only for a time , I’m sure he’s up there , in little Italy , heaven , may he rest in piece ! Plus he played in a shit load of great movies !
He only has to do a 6000 years in purgatory before he goes to heaven luckily that's nothing in eternity terms.
Standing on his head
Good thing Frank Vincent will be there to make grilled cheese off the radiator
Exactly, it's like a couple of days here...
Ha ha!
Purgatory isnt real. I pray he is in heaven
Paulie arriving in heaven: What do you hear, what do you say.

That´s because he was a real life rat who told names of the robbing gang to police.

He was so cheap! I watched the episode yesterday where he keeps the money he is supposed to give to the injured landscaper, Sal. Hilarious.
Loyal? Like when he was buying Johnny Sacks garbage and contemplated taking Tony's spot?
He played probably the most one-dimensional character on the show.
